NASA's Perseverance rover begins 18-month climb to Jezero Crater rim for ancient rock exploration.
NASA's Perseverance rover, launched in 2020, is embarking on a steep climb up Jezero Crater's rim to explore ancient rocks that may have hosted life on Mars. The ascent, expected to take around 18 months, aims to gather evidence of hot springs, hydrothermal rocks, and sedimentary rocks from Mars' earliest history. The findings could revolutionize the understanding of Mars' past climate and the potential existence of ancient life.
